Minor Party Politics in the United States and the Potential for an American Green Party
Abstract
First on
the agenda is a theoretical explanation for the perpetuation of the
American two-party system. This involves several varying theories which
work interdependently to account for the longevity of our unique political
system. Next comes a look at the tangible and not-so tangible constraints
facing minor political parties in the United States. A general theory of
third party support is then offered to assist the reader in comprehending
the conditions conducive for the rise of minor parties. Following this
general theory, insight is given to account for need for a third progressive
party in the United States. Ultimately, the author extrapolates to
illuminate the development of Green politics, the study of which involves
many facets of the contemporary American Green Movement. If you are not a current K College student, faculty, or staff member, email dspace@kzoo.edu to request access to this SIP.
